Chinese New Year: Fun and Respect

Chinese New Year is the most important of the traditional Chinese holidays. In China, it is known as 'Spring Festival'

Southeast Asia's largest temple — Kek Lok Si in PenangMalaysia — illuminated in preparation for the Lunar New Year
The festival begins on the first day of the first month in the traditional Chinese calendar and ends with Lantern Festival which is on the 15th day. Chinese New Year's Eve, a day where Chinese families gather for their annual reunion dinner, is known as Chúxī (除夕), literally "remove evening" or "Eve of the Passing Year."
